X-men #56 - Neal Adams art & cover + 1st Living Monolith

Neal Adams

X-men v1 #56, 1969 - Cyclops discovers a long lost brother, just as his super-villain foe transforms into the towering Living Monolith. Neal Adams takes over Marvel's worst selling title at time, breathing new life into the series. His cover emphasizes scale while incorporating the masthead / trade dress into the scene. His opening splash is breathtaking, showing the X-men's arrival at ancient Egyptian ruins. Unconventional layouts and skewed panels propel the story at a dynamic pace. Above all, Adams' phenomenal drawing skills come to the fore on nearly every page. This issue also includes artwork by Werner Roth and Sam Grainger. This is 1 of 9 X-men issues by Adams. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Living Monolith / Adams gallery
